As the title states, have found a set of wheels that i like. However i think these are slightly too wide for the gtr? Also i have scoured the internet, and cant find any 32gtr's running this width / offset.

Will it fit? Or am i dreaming?

I don't want to run alot of camber or anything like that, and im not too keen on the idea of getting the gaurds modified.. it's an option but i've heard horror stories.

Any advice / info / pics would be epic!

Cheers.

Like i said i have already searched for this, pleanty of info on the smaller width's..

Mm - these are 18X10 + 20 with 275s all round.

Stock guards and lowered with coiles. Were ok to drive on but any sort of bump = scrape - probably more to do with inner guard liners though.

No, I just stole my mates wheels for the day when he looked the other way. (Then proceeded to put my pink wheels on his GTR, lol)

They are too wide and the offset is wrong for the car. Just get something that fits and avoid all the pain.

Actually they fit perfectly by running a little camber and quality 265/35R18s.

He'll need to roll the guards perfectly flat to fit them as well.

No wonder there are so many weak looking GT-Rs around with everyone scared to actually put an aggressive size on them.

Good answer.

Except you missed the following in his original post:

lol personally i know a lot of people that dont care about fitment in there GTRs because they just want to go fast and not care about looks / flushness they just want to hammer around the track without scraping the shit out of everything and needing massive suspension / guard modification

But surely that is the point about owning a GTR - that they actually have a suspension system with the potential to allow them to go hard. Not some flush fitting nightmare that needs guard mods, wrong camber angles & undersized tyres to make it even half way fit. Why wreck what remains of the cars handling for some wannabe sexspec fashion. :thumbsup:

Exactly what I mean mate! you can still make a GTR look good without having it scrape the shit out of guards!

i believe that wheel fitment is mandatory on a gtr (any skyline really) and that u should definately go out there get some quality rubber fitted to them rims, roll those guards and get some nice coilovers to get the stance correct.

i dont get how so many ppl say i dont wanna touch the guards but i wanna run these fat rims.....

Rolled guards is hardly modified. Flaring is how I would interpret his statement.

And running 255/35R18s would be an even easier way of fitting them. Camber would not need to be stupid at all.

LOL sounds like an excuse to me. Funny that some of the fastest circuit spec 32 GT-Rs in Japan run this size on them without massively modified guards. But what would they know? They aren't people blinded by the idea that fitment sacrifices your ability to thrash :huh:

Don't put fitment and sex spec together. They aren't anything alike. If you're having a nightmare with fitment, you're doing it wrong. Plain and simple. That's what happens when amateurs set up cars :P

It's because they're all doing it wrong. They see this idiots with terrible mexican fitment rubbing and scraping and think that's what it's about.

Then they buy sh*tty offset wheels and say what was quoted above to justify it.

PERFECT fitment is sitting flush and having no rubbing, no need for super narrow rubber, or anything outside the alignment you want.

Cheers for the response's guys, i have decided to let these wheels slide as they arnt the right offset as you all have said!

I want to keep the handeling aspets of my car, i love doing mountain runs / hillclimb / downhill runs etc .. it's why i bought the car actually.

I'm now thinking something more along the lines of 17x10 +18 so i can run a larger profile and hopefully fit a decent amount of tyre under there..

How does this sound? I've seen lots of pics of the 18x10+18 and it does sit flush, not sure how it will go with a decent tyre width under there though? Anyone had any experience, will gaurd work still be required for this size?

I'm thinking of getting some enkei pf01's or something like that, my mate suggested 17" but still 10" wide so you can fit more tyre on the rim. He suggests running like 265/275 ?

I'm running 18x10 +15 on my GTR, imo sits nice and flush also using 265s on all 4 with no issues, the car just needs to be lowered a teeny bit more which I'm working on just been lazy. Maybe have a word with Aaron @ importmonster he can keep a eye out for some rims (he has a 32 GTR as well) and knows his shit!

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
